Apr 16, 2023 at 5:28 comment added Allerleirauh I am sorry, I m no expert in turtles with soft shell. I can imagine three options: infection, hurted skin or failed shedding. Infection could be caused, if the shell should once a day get dry, but is not (in hard shell turtles it should dry once a day). Hurted skin could be the case if there is some sharp edge inside the enclosure, the turtle scraps over/on regularly. Or the shedding thing, if it should shed each year, may occure by impropper food and sun, so the uppest skin can not deconnect from the lower skin. Maybe you should research this options at a website you trust for soft turtles
